NTC re-sit registration for Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination

The National Teaching Council (NTC) of Ghana has reminded qualified teachers who are planning to take the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) of the ongoing registration for the 2023 GTLE 1. The exam is only for re-sit candidates who were not successful in some papers in the previous exams.

The GTLE is a requirement for all teachers in Ghana to acquire a professional license and meet the National Teachers’ Standards. The NTC is mandated by Education Regulatory Bodies Act 2020 (ACT 1023) to regulate the teaching profession in Ghana.

According to the NTC, the purpose of the licensing examination is to ensure that teachers possess the minimum knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary to deliver effectively in schools. It is essential for all teachers to acquire a professional license to practice in Ghana.

Essential Professional Skills, Literacy and Numeracy

The ongoing registration for the 2023 GTLE 1 is one of the two chances given by the Council for re-sit candidates associated with the traditional GTLE (Essential Professional Skills, Literacy and Numeracy) to redeem themselves. After the two chances, there will be no examination for the traditional subjects in 2024 and beyond. Any candidate of the traditional GTLE who would like to write the GTLE again will have to start afresh with the GTLE dispensation in 2024 and beyond.
